Actually, I'll be sipping from your Mom's latte. Women dig guys in Porsche's.

I don't know man, just making an observation. But, youre following post does seem to indicate that:
So you have to get a nice car to get women? What are they going to say once they see you driving?

Seems as if the "kid" (I don't know his age) started the harassing. He's just being given back what he's given. If he's a big boy he can take it!

At least you are able to admit that you got the stench brewing. I agree, lock it up. (I'll miss it as I miss most locked threads)

I can't think of too many ideas more revolting than 20" wheels on a Corvette, but then again I'm the dinosaur who just bought a set of stock Ralleys for my '69.

If you knew anything about English, you'd know in this country we don't use apostrophes for plural words... as someone who knows all about Porsches, you should figure out how to spell it.

gentleman, this is quite possibley one of the worst, most immature threads i've ever seen. For the love of god, quit freaking bashing peoples cars/ideas...I've seen stupid remarks about women, somehow everyone seems to know everything about porsche's and remarks like "i cant think of too many ideas more revolting that 20's on a vette" dont have anyplace here. There are many that think rally's are revolting on a vette. Everyone needs to grow up, I used to get all wrapped up in these ticky tack back and forth fights, and there's just no end. So drop it. I can't believe this hasn't been locked. This forum would be much better and more productive if people would just stop ripping on people all the time.

P.S. it sucks sifting through 4 pages of garbage to find the 5 posts that actually have to do with 20's...which believe it or not some of us are intrigued by, and would like to read about!
